I am a shift worker so I work days and nights 12 hour shifts - For me a day (in MFP) runs 0000 - 2400 and I log everything on the day that I eat it... I don't worry about when I eat it I just log it. If I am working nights and I have having steak and salad for my dinner (at 0300) then I log it as breakfast on the day that…

Basket case

You can do it! I have faith in you! Remember it does not have to be done all at once!:happy:

1. I can now run up the hill, that I previously was not even able to walk up without having to stop halfway. 2. I have divots in my stomach, proof that I have muscles underneath my layers of fat, and that I am making progress. 3. I can actually fit a towel around me without having to worry about whether or not everything…

I have taken a whole wheat pita, tomato sauce, 4 oz steak, mushrooms broccoli and low fat cheese - it is awesome and works out to be aprox 400 calories! The other option is McCains extra thin crust pizza they have a bunch of different ones and the calories are between 130-170 a slice - i usually add a bunch of veggies and…

I figure that the whole point of learning to eat like this is so that we can eat healthy and join in every day functions. I allow myself to eat whatever I want to but I make sure that it is a portion size and if I over do it I always make sure to exercise to try to offset it

You look amazing... congrats! :happy:

Tomato, spinach, head lettuce, romaine lettuce, leafy green lettuce, beans, peppers and cucumber

I am with you, I love the girls, so does my husband!

I have lost 20 lbs in 4 months. I have tried every diet out there including low carb - now I can finally eat whatever I want with minimal guilt. I have finally learned to have a relationship with food, exercise and the scale (food). I am more aware of what a serving is like. If I want chips I count out a serving and then…

I am a comfort eater too, stress eater oh hell I just like to eat. I try to make myself go for a walk first for 30 min and when I get home - I make myself do exercise first! Then if I still want to eat it, I don':glasses: t feel so bad

I try to do something every day, Most days I hike with my dogs - on days that I am working (my job is sedentary) I try to make sure I hit the gym on my lunch.

I am in - I started three days ago and I have to say at this point I hate Jillian first two days I could hardly sit on the toilet and when I tried to use my arms to push myself off that was not much better. I have to admit it is day three and I was able to do more push ups that I was the first day however my fat roll hurts…

Chips

How do you track these on MFP?

That is outstanding! Congrats!

On another note I was in the grocery store and picked up a 10 lb bag of potatoes and it clicked that I have lost 2 of them so I picked up the second one and then tried to figure out how on earth I managed carrying all that around all the time. Oh yeah , 80 sticks of butter

My doctor told me that I should be 150 lbs but I have big hands and a large frame. My shoulders and hands are bigger than my fathers so I have decided that my first goal is 190 lbs and I will see where I go from there. I honestly just want to get to 190 and be able to stay there and not balloon up again! I want this to be…

Face first, and cant seem to get rid of my *kitten* fat

Today is day one! Don't let the scale dictate your success or failure. I only weigh myself once every three weeks. It sounds really dumb but when I weigh myself more often, I let get discouraged by what the scale says. Then go on a four or five day bender and eat anything I can find, feel guilty then eat more because well…

Tim Hortons Green Tea!

You don't see me naked.. I have used that a few times and it shuts people up I also tend to say you can make your choices and I can make mine, that stops them too

Congrats! That is outstanding and just the motivation that I needed today! The scale is up today and I MEAN up by about 4 lbs, I know I did not eat great but seriously 4lbs it is just discouraging- but I know that my clothes are fitting better! You look fabulous! Thanks for the inspiration !

Wish I had thought of it....LOL

5'11 started at heaviest was 270 now at 224 and hoping to hit between 180-190 but we will see where this journey leads me... living in Toronto Ontario

I have been working on it since the second week of January, my weight loss has been slow but I know this is something that I can maintain. I seldom feel hungry because not only I am allowing myself enough calories but I am making better choices. I know that it is really hard but it is not the scale that matters, it is how…

I have to admit to me this is inspiring...I am trying not to be ruled by the scale. I am trying to be ruled by eating normally and working out! I now am getting my highs from working out rather than food. I also got my first "you look skinny" comment today. Although my weight loss is minimal I am just happy that it is…
